Just as Noah and his group finished collecting medical books.
A five-person team, dressed in white cloaks and black suits underneath, appeared not far from Noah and the others' temporary camp.
" Bugu, are you sure these people are collecting medical books?" the tall man in the lead asked in a low voice.
The purple-haired woman beside him nodded. "I saw them contact those famous doctors in Drum Port, and then they bought some books from them."
"Very good. Although we're not sure if it's related to Flevance, these guys are acting suspiciously; they must be hiding something. We'll discuss this further later..."
"Oh? The World Government's nose is really sharp!"
"What?" The tall man's pupils contracted sharply.
However, the next second, he felt a terrifying pressure. Noah's Conqueror's Haki instantly focused and suppressed the five people. Ray punched through the wormhole, and in an instant, his fist, which was covered in Armament Haki, smashed into the back of the five people's necks.
Ray led the five men to the underground cave of the camp.
Then Mary was summoned to interrogate the five CP Agent separately.
Despite the CP Agent' stubbornness, Mary didn't need them to say anything; she only needed to pre-set questions.
For example, Mary asked them which department of CP they were from.
The other party may keep their mouth shut, but they will inevitably think about it in their heart, and Mary can determine the information by sensing their inner thoughts.
After extracting all the intelligence from these five CP Agent, Mary killed them and disposed of the bodies.
Noah flipped through the intelligence he had extracted from these five CP6 agents.
"It seems the Five Elders still have some brains, but they're a bit outmatched by the main characters. It looks like we can't stay here any longer. Ray, prepare to set sail, destination: the Land of Fire."
"OK, bro."
After erasing all traces of the camp, Noah and the others released the Nautilus at a secluded beach on Drum Island and then quickly sailed towards Fire Land Island.
Upon arriving at Fire Land Island, they made a casual inquiry and quickly located Musshuru, who had been exiled there. This was mainly because the man was very flamboyant and often caused trouble.
Noah didn't even bother to speak to the other party, directly crushing, stunning, and sealing the dragon before leaving again.
Noah quickly turned Musshuru into Card Apostle.
[Bleach: Musshuru ( Mushroom-Mushroom Fruit )]
In addition to Will, who was captured on Jaya Island.
[ Knight of Wands: Will ( Velociraptor Fruit )]
At this point, Noah had gathered six Card Apostle, but as the number of Card Apostle increased, he also felt the power of the Devil Fruit within him constantly approaching its Awakening state.
Furthermore, he discovered that the Major Arcana Deck was the core, and that even if the Minor Arcana Deck wasn't fully collected, it wouldn't affect the Awakening of the Card-Card Fruit.
This gave Noah a slight sense of relief.
After all, the Major Arcana Deck only has 22 cards, while the Minor Arcana Deck has 56 cards.
He has now created [ The Devil: Pan Barton ( Swap-Swap Fruit )], [Emperor: Shiki ( Float-Float Fruit )], and [Death God: Musshuru ( Mushroom-Mushroom Fruit )]. He only needs to collect the remaining 19 Major Arcana cards for the Card-Card Fruit to directly enter its Awakening state.
Of course, this doesn't mean Noah will give up the Minor Arcana Deck, since a large number of Minor Arcana Deck can quickly increase the number of mid-level combatants in the Noah Family.
For example, the newly created Velociraptor Will, was given a new appearance by Noah through Swap-Swap Fruit, and then sent to be stationed on Sikasis Island.
The Nautilus, sailing on the seabed, did not head towards nearby Alabasta, but instead traversed several routes to Broccoli Island, the sixth node island located on the second route of the Paradise.
The reason Noah went to this island was not because there was anything on it that he wanted, but to find Moon Island, which was near Broccoli Island.
Moon Island is not a real island on current nautical charts because a disaster 132 years ago destroyed the entire Moon Island.
From the few words he gathered at the Distillery, Noah had already guessed what was going on.
Of the islands destroyed in the One Piece world, those destroyed by pirates and war probably account for only about 10-20%, with the vast majority being the work of the Celestial Dragons.
In particular, islands like Moon Island, which were destroyed by a "mysterious disaster," were most likely destroyed by the Celestial Dragons.
After all, the World Government would definitely report directly on those islands destroyed by pirates or enemy countries; there's no need to hide them.
Two weeks later, on a sunny afternoon.
The Nautilus finally spotted Moon Island, 196 kilometers northwest of Broccoli Island.
Upon arriving at Moon Island, although many ruins have been covered by vegetation, their general outlines still reveal the area's former prosperity.
Due to the lack of human activity for a long time, the flora and fauna here are no different from those of a primeval forest.
"Brother, this place is not bad." Ray looked around the ruins with curiosity.
"Unfortunately, the altitude is too low. If the sea level rises by 100 meters in the future, this island will be completely submerged unless it is moved to Sky Island. However, this type of island is not suitable for going to Sky Island."
Ray also felt a little regretful.
The reason why Moon Island is not Sky Island is because a considerable number of Eternal Pose circulate in the Grand Line Moon Island, especially the World Government, who certainly possesses these permanent Moon Island Eternal Pose.
If Moon Island were moved to the Sky Island Sky Island, the World Government might be able to determine its Moon Island using the Eternal Pose.
Unless Joshua's Rumble-Rumble Fruit Awakening and can alter the island's magnetic field, Noah wouldn't casually move islands from the Grand Line to the Sky Island.
Stroll through the ruins of this town called Sleepy Hollow.
That's right, this is where Red Count obtained the Vampire Fruit.
To find this place, the Distillery even infiltrated the Alabasta royal library and searched through various historical records of Alabasta over the past eight hundred years.
After all, Alabasta is a kingdom with a history of four thousand years and a powerful nation. They must be very familiar with the Grand Line, especially the Paradise section.
At least Moon Island and Sleepy Hollow are not taboo.
Alabasta certainly has very comprehensive information on Paradise maps.
It took the Distillery nearly four months, and they even borrowed Ray's Hole-Hole Fruit to dig a hidden cave in the underground of the Alabasta Royal Palace. They mobilized hundreds of people to copy and organize all the books in the library.
With access to the Alabasta Royal Library's materials, the Noah Family's understanding of the Grand Line increased dramatically.
Sleepy Hollow was an unexpected discovery.
The Distillery originally collected information from the Alabasta Royal Palace library in order to find out about the forbidden drug, the Hero Water," held by the Alabasta royal family, and the secret of how the fruit regenerates in a specific area.
